Retrospec Remi Kids Helmet

Why We Like It

The Retrospec Remi proves that certified protection doesn't have to cost $50+. It meets the federal CPSC standard, features a dial-fit system, and comes in enough colors that kids will actually want to put it on. For occasional riders, fast-growing kids, or parents prone to losing helmets at the park, it delivers excellent baseline protection at a responsible price.
